           Summary: dispel -d doesn't restore /var/state/sorcery/depends
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: 1.14.x
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Dispel
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: iuso AT sourcemage.org


Running devel sorcery 20070418 without castfs.

I had flac 1.1.2 installed, and /var/state/sorcery/depends contained these 
lines:

flac:g++:on:required::
flac:xmms:off:optional::
flac:nasm:on:optional::--disable-asm-optimizations
flac:libogg:on:optional::
flac:id3lib:on:optional::

Then I upgraded flac to 1.2.0. After the upgrade, the same lines were present
(which was expected because no dependency options or selections had changed).

Later on I needed to downgrade flac to 1.1.2 again, so I did `dispel -d flac
1.1.2`. After that, there were no lines beginning with 'flac:' in
/var/state/sorcery/depends. This caused flac's PRE_SUB_DEPENDS to behave
incorrectly due to is_depends_enabled not being able to retrieve the 
dependency
information.

I manually fixed the problem by doing `cat
/var/state/sorcery/tablet/flac/20070426234210/depends >>
/var/state/sorcery/depends`. I suggest that future sorcery releases should
handle a downgrade more thoroughly. I believe that the same bug may also apply
to information stored in /var/state/sorcery/sub_depends, but I have not 
tested it.
